Accident Report vs. Incident Report
Every accident is an incident, but not every incident is an accident. To determine whether an event is an accident or an incident, gauge the severity of its impact on the individuals involved.
Accident – In legal parlance, the word “accident” refers to an unexpected event that causes damage, injury, or harm.
Incident – An “incident” is an unexpected event that does not necessarily cause damage, injury, or harm.
